A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

They arbitrarily decided which of my friends’ updates to show me, then started showing me more ads and “promoted content” (read: culture war incitement) than what’s going on with my friends. Lame.

I immediately opt out of any platform that aggressively tries to decide what content I consume.

Yeah I just wanna see pictures of my friends’ pets, kids and art. Not posts trying to bait me in to arguing about whether or not She-Hulk should be twerking (She should btw) or if rice is woke. 🙄
